The Cyrkle - Don Dannemann, Mike Losekamp, Pat McLaughlin. '60s Stars With "Red Rubber Ball" And "Turn Down Day". Managed By Brian Epstein. Opened For The Beatles On Their Last U.S. Tour In 1966!
Episode Notes
The Cyrkle hit the top of the charts in 1966 with two big hits: "Red Rubber Ball", co-written by Paul Simon, which reached #2, and "Turn Down Day", which reached #16. The band had a special relationship with The Beatles - they were managed by Brian Epstein, got the unique spelling of their name from John Lennon, and opened for The Beatles on their 1966 U.S. tour including their last live stadium concert appearance at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Don Dannemann is an original member of the band, and together with Mike Losekamp and Pat McLaughlin, they tell the Cyrkle's story.
